Chapter 300 The Steward's Discord
Li Qin wasn't faking it; he genuinely hadn't noticed any problems between the three old men.
Of course, this is mainly because Li Qin doesn't usually pay much attention to things related to courtyard houses.
Li Qin then looked at Xu Damao with some curiosity:
"Da Mao, tell me quickly, what exactly happened to those old men in charge?"
Looking at Li Qin's curious expression, Xu Damao's face flashed with a smug look, but he then honestly told him what he knew.
"I discovered by chance that the third uncle in the front yard was looking for the first and second uncles, seemingly to discuss something."
However, it seems the meeting ended on bad terms, and from then on, the Third Master and the other two stewards appeared to have developed a rift.
Hearing this, Li Qin became even more interested.
According to Li Qin, the third uncle, Yan Bugui, lived in the courtyard house and was also the head of the household.
However, due to the significant differences in status, position, and salary between him and the other two men, he was not in the same courtyard house.
It has always been mainly Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong.
Even if something really happens in the courtyard house, it's usually the other two people who make the decisions.
In order to maintain the power of the three stewards, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong basically maintained the same stance.
Yan Bugui was mostly treated with appeasement.
So the three of them usually have a very harmonious relationship, but now a conflict has arisen. There might be something interesting going on behind the scenes.
Seeing Li Qin's increasingly curious expression, Xu Damao smiled faintly.
Then he continued speaking:
"After making some inquiries, I finally figured out what had happened between the three stewards."
As he said this, Xu Damao gave Li Qin a strange look.
Li Qin's senses were extremely sharp, and he instantly noticed Xu Damao's gaze.
He immediately looked puzzled.
Seeing this, Xu Damao spoke again;
"Li Qin, you should remember Yan Jiefang, the eldest son of Third Uncle's family, right?"
Yan Jiefang!
Li Qin naturally remembered, and it could even be said that before Li Qin transmigrated, the person the original owner was most familiar with in the courtyard was Yan Jiefang. The two of them often found odd jobs on the street together.
Over time, they naturally became more familiar with each other. However, when Xu Damao suddenly mentioned Yan Jiefang, Li Qin's heart skipped a beat.
He had a gut feeling that there was a problem in the relationship between Yan Bugui, Yi Zhonghai, and Liu Haizhong, and that this matter might be related to him.
Thinking of this, Li Qin nodded subconsciously:
"Of course I remember!"
Xu Damao nodded, then spoke again:
"Speaking of which, this matter is also related to Yan Jiefang. Yan Jiefang still doesn't have a formal job yet."
Yan Jiefang was not recruited when the steel rolling mill expanded its recruitment this time, so the third uncle thought of asking the first and second uncles for help.
After all, whether it was the eldest uncle or the second eldest uncle, they were both long-time employees of the steel rolling mill, and both were mid-to-senior level workers; they still had some influence.
Upon hearing this, Li Qin was completely certain that the conflict between the three stewards was indeed related to him.
Because he clearly remembered that he had met Yan Jiefang at the gate of the steel rolling mill once before.
At the time, it was unclear whether Yan Jiefang was desperate or just grasping at straws, but he actually wanted Li Qin to help him get a job in the factory.
Perhaps the original owner of this body had some connection with Yan Jiefang.
As for Li Qin, he and Yan Jiefang were really just ordinary neighbors.
Based on this relationship alone, expecting Li Qin to help arrange a job is simply a joke.
Li Qin refused outright.
However, for fun, Li Qin gave Yan Jiefang an idea: to go find Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong.
Please ask these two stewards for help.
Li Qin knew Yan Bugui's calculating nature; he was definitely only thinking about getting something for nothing and wouldn't be willing to spend real money.
So in the end, something fun is bound to happen.
It now appears that Li Qin's plan has succeeded.
While Li Qin was deep in thought, Xu Damao continued:
"However, our third uncle is notoriously stingy. He only wanted the first and second uncles to help him, but he didn't offer any assistance. In the end, things got a bit awkward."
As Xu Damao said this, a look of disdain flashed across his face:
"Everyone knows how sought-after a job is at the steel rolling mill. To think that you can get a job without putting in any effort is really wishful thinking on my part."
Li Qin also disapproved of Yan Bugui's shady tactics.
Although Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong had some influence in the steel rolling mill, they spent most of their time in the workshop.
In fact, the two of them didn't have much influence with the factory leaders.
After all, Yi Zhonghai was no longer one of the few level-eight workers in the factory, and his status was not as high as it would later become.
As for Liu Haizhong, he was even worse.
There are quite a few senior workers in steel rolling mills nowadays, and many of them are even more capable than Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong.
Only in the near future, when a large number of highly skilled workers are transferred away to support special projects, will this happen.
Talented individuals like Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong gradually emerged.
Therefore, neither Liu Haizhong nor Yi Zhonghai could solve Yan Jiefang's job problem simply by pulling strings.
At most, they can help find a leader, and out of consideration for their status as veteran workers, they might charge less.
But Yan Bugui is ruthless.
They simply don't want to spend a single penny.
If these two want to help, they will need to pay for it themselves.
Given Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong's personalities, how could they possibly agree?
After listening to Xu Damao's words, Li Qin finally understood the whole story.
Although he didn't show it on his face, he was secretly laughing inside.
He had his own calculations involved in this whole affair.
As for why he plotted against the three stewards, it was naturally because these three guys had teamed up against him before.
Although Li Qin immediately reported to the several stewards.
However, this does not mean that the matter is over.
Li Qin is very petty.
Especially those few damned officials in charge.
Li Qin was more than willing to create conflict among these guys with just a few words.
"Don't you know what kind of personality the Third Uncle and his family have? I'm not surprised at all that something like this happened."
Moreover, I dare say that although the Third Uncle and the other two Uncles are not on good terms now, as long as the two of them are willing to give the Third Uncle some benefits;
Then, the third uncle will instantly forget all these unpleasant things, and the relationship between the three of them will return to what it was before.
After a short while, Li Qin said with certainty.
Upon hearing his words, Xu Damao remained silent for a moment before revealing an expression of approval.
"You know what, you really do have a good eye for Third Uncle," Xu Damao nodded and said.
"Given Third Uncle's opportunistic nature, as long as the other two stewards give him a little something extra, he'll let bygones be bygones, no matter what the conflict is."
At this moment, Li Qin and Xu Damao exchanged a knowing glance.
Then they all revealed eerie smiles.
